KAELIN H.
This course was informative, interesting and comprehensive, with lots of valuable and helpful information. Great for freelancers who are starting out in the transcription industry. I found the ways to train my listening skills and overcome common problems especially useful, and I also loved the fact that you can get important information about different transcription companies and their payment practices. I highly recommend it
FLOR L.
I recently decided to start working from home and felt very confident in my abilities to work as a transcriptionist. After having failed my first test I was saddened and wondering how I would learn the skills needed for this job. I was very happy to be offered the opportunity to take the courses on TranscoMedia. The courses were very clear and easy to follow. There were plenty of practice opportunities throughout the course to allow you to become familiar with transcription. I liked that it included a few different companies and went over the fact that each company has different formats and styles. I’m now ready to retake the test along with applying for other companies and feel more prepared for what is to come.

This was a great course. It was very helpful and informative.

I thought this course was really intentional at encompassing a vast spectrum of topics around transcribing and I enjoyed it as a whole. I liked the information/ section about specific transcription terminology. I was really thankful you had specific sections on some of the more unique concepts of transcribing like the Time Codes and Tags. Those were really helpful. The sections that gave us ways to practice and refine our skills were really beneficial as well. Your course truly has a wealth of information.
Mali K.
It was an amazing experience that helped close many knowledge gaps that I had. I had known to do what the videos told me to do, but never knew why I had to do them and it always bothered me – so thank you!
